Whirlpool 207843 Washing Machine Lip Seal Repair Kit

The Whirlpool 207843 Washing Machine Lip Seal Repair Kit is a collection of parts intended to address a prevalent washing machine issue - a worn-out lip seal. The lip seal is an integral part found on the lower shaft of your Whirlpool washing machine's gearcase. It serves as a small ring, forming a tight seal to prevent oil leaks from the gearbox. Over time, due to wear and strain, this seal may fail, allowing oil to leak out during washing cycles. This oil leak can cause a variety of difficulties, including decreased washing performance, odd noises from the machine, and even potential electrical issues.The 207843 repair kit normally contains a replacement lip seal as well as extra components like a garter spring or lubrication.
